BHG Financial Triumphs With The 2024 Fortress Cybersecurity Award In Training

BHG Financial (BHG) has been honoured with the 2024 Fortress Cybersecurity Award in the Training category.

BHG ensures its staff is equipped with customised tools to protect clients' sensitive information. The Information Security team employs detailed metrics, advanced techniques, and innovative approaches to train employees about current cyber threats. This multi-faceted approach includes training for new hires, monthly education sessions, and semi-annual security week events.

Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer at the Business Intelligence Group, highlighted the importance of cybersecurity in today's digital age. "In today's digital age, cybersecurity is no longer optional – it's essential," said Jimenez.
